Adam Wingard posted over the weekend that if he gets the green light for a 3rd movie then it will be more of a Godzilla focused movie on his backstory like what this movie was for Kong. Also the rumor on the internet is legendary has already begun negotiations with Wingard for the third flick after the success of this one.

@MROJPC 3 месяца назад

I hope they can negotiate with Toho on some legacy villains 👋🤓 like Mecha King Gidorah and Gigan and new G-man allies like Jet Jaguar 🤖😍 I really like the new monsters Legacy created with the Mutos and Behemoth being my favorites.

Not surprised at all. I live in Asia. Saw it twice. Both times theater was packed. Tons of kids, but also adults. Huge smiles on everybody’s faces, everybody hooting and hollering. And when the girl told Rebecca Hall that she was her home at the end, the man sitting behind me started to cry. 80 million? Not surprised. People laughed and cried. A true movie going experience.

Let movies be weird and fun, not everything needs to be serious or thought provoking. Give me the cheese, give me the over the top destruction, give me the deus ex machinas etc. I just want to have fun watching a movie like this. This movie made me feel how peak Marvel did.

The thing people haven’t realized is 1954 Gojira, Shin Godzilla, and Godzilla minus 1 are timeless classics of a true monster but the Showa era Godzilla kept the lights on and paid the bills for Toho studios along with maintaining the fanbase.

I dragged two people with me to go see it on Saturday. There was definitely pushback, but I convinced them that we had nothing else to do for the day so we may as well catch the 3pm showing, and we did. 😁 There was a crap load of kids and families in there, and the showing before ours was sold out. Yes, I’d say the movie did unexpected business.

@BU_TV 3 месяца назад

I dont know what John is talking about in GvK regarding Godzilla was elevated over Kong. That movie clearly had more of a focus on Kong and his story arc. Godzilla was barely shown unless kong was on screen with him. With that being said its so much fun seeing Kong and Godzilla together, but I hope they start getting back to solo films. Godzilla deserves to be front and center again. Based on how it ended, I think they will do this. I think we will be looking at “The adventures of Kong, Suko, and Shimo” moving forward. Which I am here for it!

You’re overplaying the “dumbness” of this movie for some reason. Because heroes in spandex is so much more serious? It’s all fantastical entertainment.

@TheHmongol 3 месяца назад

It's different because the heroes and spandex are still human beings with complex and emotional feelings. Still grounded to a believable and well written story. They are still held to a higher standard than two animals with no dialogues and no Oscar winning acting. And that's the big difference.

Its a good time to be a fan of the property in general. There's no need to sh!t on one over the other especially when you clearly don't know the history of Godzilla.

Unfortunately 20 minutes before the movie was over the entire theater was evacuated by police due to a vehicle being on fire underneath the theater. We were told that we were going to get refunded our money online in about 2 days. As for what we were able to watch was pretty good bummer we didn't get to finish it.

@bicknell67 3 месяца назад

Well guys Adam Wingard has said if he does a third movie that movie will be centered around Godzilla.

@Oldgreg43 3 месяца назад

Yes he did and I am expecting space Godzilla or destroya. There is speculation that in king of the monsters, the oxygen deprivation nuke, actually created destroya, and obviously space Godzilla would be Godzilla’s greatest adversary, and I could see Godzilla getting put on his ass by space Godzilla, and venturing into hollow earth to seek help from Kong and his new army of Kong and new pet dog shimo to make for an epic showing, centered around Godzilla, but still bringing in Kong to bring all of the fans just like these last two movies have done. Let’s go baby give me more.

@romankotas448 3 месяца назад

It was so dumb yet so good, I was losing brain cells the entire time and loving it

@dylanhopkins5934 3 месяца назад

I'm not surprised. It delivers on what it was supposed to deliver on and probably the best one so far at doing it. It was extremely fun and entertaining, it wasn't overly complicated, the humans took a major backseat, and it was action-packed! In an ideal world, would it have technically been better if it was written smarter? Sure. But then again, am I coming to see a really intelligently written movie? No. I haven't seen Godzilla Minus One yet, but from what I'm hearing, that movie already delivers on that side of things so this movie doesn't need to.

@stephennootens916 3 месяца назад

Godzilla does get the short end of the stick in both of the Kong and Godzilla. While his names first it clear that Kong is the lead on this films. I suspect because Kong is American icon and Godzilla is not.

Give people what they want and they’ll show up. The numbers for this film prove that all we needed was more focus on the monsters. Apparently this film also has the lowest budget in the monster-verse so what exactly went wrong before because it sure wasn’t a lack of budget.

Final wars was the last, then 2014 was a big hit, a huge homage to classic but the reintroduction to modern audiences. Then Japan said hold my beer, remember what we can do, shin and minus one we're amazing call backs to the og godzilla. Plus we got 2 animated projects. Thank you, monsterverse. Now we are just getting the kids hooked on godzilla again. So 30 years (100th anniversary) those kids now adults want to see the next big godzilla movie with there kids. Definitely helping continue this oooooooooooold franchise.

As a lifelong Kaiju fan. I'm super glad that the movie is doing this good at the worldwide box office. I'm going to watch it again with my 10 yr old daughter this weekend. But that being said, I'm totally agree with Robert about how they treated Godzilla in the movie as a mere plot device or side character. Even the final blow to Skar King came out from Shimo & Kong...Godzilla was just standing there. That's why I sincerely hope Wingard & the Studio will give little more importance to my Big G next time as they promised recently.
